This is JoCo podcast number two, sixty three with Echo, Charles and me, JoCo Willink. Good evening Echo. Good evening.

And this podcast is brought to you by. You. That's right. This podcast exists because of your support. And I've always dreaded having to say the words, this podcast is brought to you by whatever.

But we don't say that and we're not going to say that. We're here and we're able to do with you because you support us in a bunch of different ways and we own what we have here. And we don't rely on any companies to sponsor what we're doing, which is nice, I mean, other than the companies that we actually own.

And the companies that we own make the stuff that we actually use to do the things that we like to do. And listen, it is a harder road to take. The harder road to take, you can go that you can go, you can go, like, just get that money.

And there's been times some people that are on this podcast right now have sort of petitioned for that kind of thing a little bit. Right. Well, right.

Well, and that's legitimately because it's a much harder move to try and build companies, invest in your companies and run the supply chain and the personnel and deal with all the finances and the taxes and the thousands of things that you got to do to make a business run.

And that's OK. Did what gets what it takes work takes hard work.

It takes discipline because it's a grind, but at the end of the day, guess what, that discipline gives us freedom.

Gives us freedom, freedom, the freedom to talk about whatever we want, the freedom to talk for five hours without having to take a break to mention some company, we don't have to do any of that.

And we can make like I said, we can make the podcast as long as we want the stories we want, we can do whatever we want. We got the freedom to do that. We have the freedom to do that because we also have freedom of speech, which with the. With the incredible foresight and intention. Is the First Amendment of the Constitution, the United States of America.

The First Amendment is Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So there you go. The government shall make no law to abridge freedom of speech doesn't get any clearer than that. But it does get a little muddier than that in in modern times, right? They didn't have podcast's. Back in the day that I'm aware of, so as smart as the founding fathers were and as well as the Constitution has held up as a document, well, there's been interesting things going on right now. Interesting things going on right now, and in some ways it's troubling because you see.

You can see the speech being. Controlled, you can see speech being censored, you can see meanings the way speech is being used, being manipulated.

You can see words, the meaning of words being changed, and we've seen this before throughout history, and one of the best examples of this is a very clear example, and it's one I talked about with Jordan Peterson. And when Jordan was on, you weren't there the second or third time that Jordan came on, you weren't there. But we and this actually happened with every time he's come on, we've had some I've had some plan about what we're going to talk about.

We don't talk about any of that. We talk about something completely different. So so on that one, we're going to talk about the Gulag Archipelago and bye bye, Solzhenitsyn. And we did cover this one thing that I really wanted to talk about, because I think it's important and it's it's it's a it's an example of the way language drives thought and policy.

And to one word, it's the word is Coolac and. The what that word originally meant was former sort of workers or peasants that had become wealthy.

Right. So this person, the Coolac, right, they they they were in the lower class and they moved up.

And then over time, it became a little bit more pejorative, meaning it had a it started to take on a negative connotation.

So eventually it became Solzhenitsyn in in the Gulag Archipelago. He says, quote, A miser, a Coolac sort of became to represent a miserly, dishonest rural trader who grows rich, not through his own labor, but through someone else's. So so it's got a negative connotation, connotation.

But he says about those clocks at the time that. There wasn't that many of them. In fact, he says that they could be numbered on one's fingers. So there's a very small number of these kind of bad people that had made money and kind of made money off the backs of others.

Well, as the as the revolution went on, the communist revolution went on circa like 1950, 1960, 1917, the meaning of the word. Started to encompass more more people.

It started to and this is again, this is from this is from Solzhenitsyn, it started to include people, all those who in any way hired workers, even if it was only when they were temporarily short of working hands in their own families. So you had something that used to just mean someone that had kind of risen up and made it out of the lower class into the middle class. Then it became someone that made it to the middle class, but they did it in a bad way.

And now it's, hey, anybody that sort of had anybody that's hired another person is Coolac by the 1930s, Solzhenitsyn, he says that the word was used to, quote, describe all strong peasants in general, peasant, strong and management, strong in work or even strong merely in convictions.

So you can see this word which used to just represent a very small number of people.

All of a sudden, it starts to represent more and more people, if you have anyone working for you and eventually an official decree comes out from the government.

It releases an official definition of what a Coolac is, and by that definition, a Coolac was any person who used hired Labor, owned a mill, a creamery processing equipment or a, quote, complex machine with a motor.

Systematically rented out agricultural equipment or facilities or was involved in trade, moneylending, commercial brokerage or other sources of non labor income.

And this last definition made it so that anyone that sold surplus goods, so if you had extra stuff and you sold it. Your Coolac. So now we're we're basically now talking a few at a yard sale, right? So now we're basically talking about about everyone.

And then the government set out to destroy the kulaks and thereby destroy the strength of the peasantry.

And the communist started a program.

Called de Coolac ization. We're going to get rid of them. The people that were identified as kulaks, which again, now there's a ton of them, they were ordered to give their farm animals, their livestock to government authorities. So now we're taking property. Many of them and many of the kooks at this time are like, OK, well then I'm going to kill my livestock and, you know, keep the meat and use the hides.

And then when they tried to kill the livestock, instead of giving them up, the communist made a new law which made it possible to prosecute people for the malicious slaughtering of livestock.

This is like, isn't it just you see the steps going and it gets worse and worse. But that's still still left a little bit to a little bit. You could still maybe move through that. You can still probably get away with it. So then Stalin decreed in order to oust the kulaks as a class, the resistance of this class, much must be smashed in open battle and it must be deprived of the productive sources of its existence and development.

That is in turn towards the policy of eliminating the kulaks as a class.

We're going to get rid of all of them. And by the way, look at who we're talking about. We're talking about people that we're talking about the people that had stepped up and made things happen.

Right. People that old machinery, people that owned a mill, people that ran businesses, that's who they're talking about.

Well, guess what?

When you do that, when you get rid of the people that own farm equipment and farms and livestock, guess what happens? You run out of food, you don't have anyone making food anymore, and this leads to starvation. And and when you get starvation now, you get people that are hungry, now you get people now you get kind of a mob rule thing going on. And this is a very horrible thing to think about if you weren't starving.

If you weren't starving or your family wasn't starving. Well, how could you not be starving, you would be you would not be starving if you had food, if you had food, guess what you were. Your Coolac clock. That's what you are so so what does mob rule look like when it is approved by the government or ignored by the government?

What is it look like? There's a description of an author named Robert Conquest. He wrote a book called Reflections of a Ravaged Century.

And this is a description from that book, which is actually from from a Russian journalist, Grossman, who said that the party activists who helped the state political directorate, the secret police, also known as the GPU with arrests and deportations, quote, were all people who knew one another well and knew their victims.

But in carrying out this task task, they became dazed, stupefied they would threaten people with guns as if they were under a spell, calling small children Coolac bastards screaming bloodsuckers.

They had sold themselves on the idea that so-called kulaks were pariahs. Untouchables, vermin. They would not sit down at a parasites table, the Coolac child was loathsome, the young Coolac girl was lower than Olaf's.

Mobb. Scenario, the book goes on to quote a guy named Lev Kopelev, a party activist.

So this guy was in the in the communist game who eventually became a dissident. And he said it was extra is excruciating to see and hear all of this and even worse to take part in it.

And I persuaded myself, explained to myself, I mustn't give in to debilitating pity. This is what he's telling himself. Look, I can't have any pity we were realizing historical necessity. We were performing our revolutionary duty.

We were obtaining grain for the socialist fatherland, for the five year plan. So Stalin ends up ordering the kulaks to be liquidated as a class. Which in turn causes the Soviet famine in nineteen thirty two, in nineteen thirty three, that resulted in. At least three million dead, Solzhenitsyn said six million, one point eight million were sent to labor colonies. Only one point three million ever actually made it to the labor colonies, another half a million of them just disappeared, gone.

We don't even know what happened, but obviously didn't turn out good for them. And then you have the rest of the nightmare of of the Soviet disaster.

And and you can pull that thread and you get to this language, you get to language, an attack on language, on what you say, on what people say or what people don't say or what people are allowed to say or what people are forced to say.

Because our words. They make our faults and we think in words. And we have to keep our words free, to keep our minds free, and I thought that we learned this.

And if it didn't, if it wasn't obvious enough, obvious enough from watching what happened in the Soviet Union. Then when you read nineteen eighty four by George Orwell, by George Orwell, you said, Oh OK, yeah, OK, yeah got it. Didn't he spell it out for us. I've ever read that book, and at least when I went through, I swear you had to read that book. And at some point. At some point, I'm sure I will cover the whole book on the podcast.

But without even talking about the plot. Just talking about the world that he paints in this in this book. The book is, you know, it was written in the nineteen forty seven, I think, and but it's about nineteen eighty four and you've got this omnipresent government, you've got surveillance everywhere. Everyone's heard the Big Brother. Do you remember reading nineteen eighty four. No, no. So it's, it's, it's a futuristic time. It's everything is controlled by the government.

You've heard Big Brother is watching you. Right. That's where it comes from.

There's a show called Big Brother. Oh OK. Is it about is a dystopian future? No, sir, it is.

It's a reality show that everyone lives in this house. It's us. But here's the thing, though.

Dystopian, it's not dystopian. Well, I guess is their thought control. No, but there's cameras in every single room.

Why don't they let me run a reality TV program I think is pretty clear.

Crazy, but yeah. So they go around in the house in this camera's like mounted cameras in all the rooms, like surveillance cameras and you can like tune in on off times and stuff and just watch.

Like, you could do that, like you could go on a website and just watch the people in the house. I like that. I think they used to play it on like Showtime, where it's like Big Brother live and you can just sit there and watch and watch them do nothing like do normal everyday stuff. But here's the thing. There's I think there's now that's totally common, right?

Because through the Internet, you can just do that. There's people doing that right now. Screen and screen are streaming their whatever. They're doing their homework. Yes.

I saw something something about I think it was a Japanese dude who would like do his homework and he was getting he have millions of people watching him.

He was super organized. I'll give it up for my if I remember correctly. Could you see the content of this? Oh, he was that's different.

It was like there was multiple camera views. You know, you could kind of see what he was reading. You could see what he's working on. And that's what he did, his homework or something like that.

OK, so that makes sense. If it was just a picture of him doing his homework, you couldn't see the homework. That's that's weird. But if you can see what homework he's doing. Oh, yeah, that's good.

Why is that not. I don't. Why are you Morente. I'm not interested in his homework at all.

Well, I mean pretty much I'm not into video games either. But you can watch people live streaming their screen in a little corner of them, their face playing, just playing video games or whatever. And this is like multi million.

There's there's hundreds of people that watch those hundreds of millions per minute watching this stuff. But the it's different because Big Brother is like them doing normal stuff all day, all night. That's the big big brother guy.

But they have a voice in there, too. Can you give directions? It it says, hey, you're breaking this rule or you're who makes the rules, the show or whatever.

Are the rules. Are the rules tyrannical in any way?

I know it's a game show. At the end of the day, it's like it lasts like a few months or whatever. I don't know how long.

And they, you know, they have a little challenge to defeat the opponents in challenges. So you can fight them in. Yeah. And then you have a vote and it's like, you know, it's a thing, you know.

All right. Well, that that term Big Brother comes from nineteen eighty four. There's surveillance watching you all the time. There's perpetual war going on.

There's historical negation which which is when you falsify history or you distort history.

And there's a bunch of just really I was going to say cool quotes where they're not cool, they're actually horrible quotes but they're, they're, they really capture what the book is about.

And there's one saying in the book, who controls the past, controls the future, who controls the present, controls the past. All these sayings in there, when you read them, you each there's thought police who are tracking people for committing crimes, there's people who commit crimes who and they or they don't toe the party line.

They don't they don't they don't toe the party line, and if you don't toe the party line or if you commit crimes, you become an unperson. Meaning you just disappear and all evidence that you ever existed is destroyed, you are gone, you become an unperson, you get.

Erased. You get erased, you get cancelled, right? Sounds familiar, right? So you get canceled then. Then. This is crazy.

In nineteen eighty four in the book, there's something called the Proehl Feed. Short for the proletariat feed, which is a steady, unending stream of mindless entertainment, which is produced to distract and occupy the minds of the masses.

Does that sound familiar at all? So you can spend all this time distracted and wasting and being just mindlessly entertained. Yeah, it sounds like the video game scenario sounds like it sounds like the thing you got in your pocket. Yeah, which, by the way, gets even scarier. They have something called a telescreen, the telescreen. You watch it. And it watches you. Kind of like your phone, which is tracking where you are, identifying what you're watching, like it's what your phone is, watching you as much as you're watching it.

Right. This is factual.

There's a word there's a word called a word called up sub, which means you submit to the higher authority, if you like, a positive way in.

And and then all these words, all these words are framed. On a on a new evolving language, which is called New Speak, so we have a new way of speaking. It's called Newspeak, the old way of speaking is called old speak, that's English, as the English language is called old speak newspeak is what we're talking now. And they got a bunch of they got a bunch of these words and we're going to get into the language of it.

But if you add plus as a prefix to any word, it strengthens a word. So good is good. Excellent. They get rid of the word excellent. They say plus good.

Because they're trying to limit the vocabulary of people. And people have old think. If people have old think they have ideas or they have memories that are pre prior to the revolution, so this is right, this is scary to think about.

And I know we don't normally talk much about, you know, current events really on this podcast, because there's enough because there's enough of that filling everyone's profile every single day without us chiming in.

I mean, you you've got pro feed coming at you. Twenty four, seven thousand different angles.

And so, you know, I'm not we don't spend a bunch of time talking about what what happened in the last 12 hour news cycle, but, you know, the other day when we were talking to Cowboy.

Cowboy call on the Vietnamese soldier, he gave me a little warning that I had to pay some attention to, you know, and he was saying, you know, you got to watch out for communism. And I kind of, you know. I kind of brushed it off and said, well, you know, we're a strong country, we we are rooted and we're rooted in freedom or something like that. And, you know, it's in our blood and we will remain free.

And and he kind of just said, be careful.

Because he had seen it take over in Vietnam and I mean, you want to talk, you look at the history, the Vietnamese people, you know, talk about rooted in freedom like that. That country is logit. They they do not get they do not take easy to occupiers, it's in their blood freedom.

And look what happened. It happened and it happens slowly. And you can see in the like like in the Soviet Union, one thing that happens is it.

Part of it starts with speech. It starts with banning words, it starts with changing the meaning of words, and that's what happens in in the book 1984. And there's all kinds of quotes in this book, and they're.

They're just eerie, they're eerie when you hear them and you think about the context of the world right now.

I plucked out some of the some of the quotes. If all others accepted the lie which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became the truth. How about this one, we know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.

Here's one the ideal set up by the party was something huge, terrible and glittering, a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons, a nation of warriors and fanatics marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, triumphing, persecuting three hundred million people, all with the same face.

Here's another interesting one how could you make appeal to the future when not a trace of you, not even an anonymous word scribbled on a piece of paper could physically survive? Another section, every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Another one, never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling, everything will be dead inside you.

Never again will you be capable of love or friendship or joy of living or laughter or curiosity or courage or integrity.

You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty and then we shall fill you with ourselves and. And then there's this book is just filled with these eerie, eerie. Statements, but in the end of the book, the the main character, Winston, he finally breaks like he's he's resistant through the book and he's trying to maintain some some level of humanity and individuality.

In the end, he breaks and and finishes up by saying, but he was all right.

But it was all right. Everything was all right. The struggle was finished, he had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother. Very, very depressing. It's very depressing when the human spirit is broken and it's even more depressing when the human spirit is broken en masse, which is what this book portrays.

And George Orwell does a great job this whole this whole. This whole. Explanation in this trick, in this this thing that he does with language is very powerful and it's calculated and deliberate. Which is. Which is. Which is the way it happens, and like I said, one day, I'm sure I'll cover this whole book, but tonight I just I just wanted to cover one part of the book, one part of the book that I want to dive into.

So so George Orwell, who wrote the book, and he's got a very interesting past, I mean, he had a he's a very interesting guy.

And the reason I say that is because he's not just some academic that sat in an ivory tower somewhere, he had a lot of experience in life. He had been a policeman in India.

He had he had fought in the Spanish Revolution. He'd been shot in the neck.

So, I mean, this guy is not this guy is not just a you know, just some. Person that's read a bunch of books and is an academic, no, he's he's he's been out there in the world. But he wrote so in this book at the end of the book, he's got this appendix to the book. And the appendix at the end of the book. Is about this language, it's about this language, newspeak. And in a way.

It it might be the most important message in the book, or at least maybe it's not the most important message in the book, but it's at least it's at least is the least appreciated message in the book.

And and that's why I want to read some excerpts from that, because this part of the book really starts to make you.

Think makes me think anyways about where we are, but what we have to be careful of. So. The appendix is written, this appendix that I'm talking about that we're going to jump into, it's written almost as like an academic assessment of the newspeak language.

So sometime in the future, beyond OK in the book, sometime in the future of this book.

Some academic type person is writing about like a historical review of this language.

Because you can tell when reading it that the totality in the totalitarian state that this takes place didn't work at some point, failed, it failed to really maintain the control and suppress the human spirit. So that's a positive sign, right. Even though they got Winston, some people stood up against it and they were able to fight it off. And now you get this person, this this person writing this sort of historical documentation about this language.

And you can kind of see he kind of indicates that that one of the reasons maybe that the that the totalitarian government wasn't able to maintain control was because they couldn't get full control of the language. And it's very interesting, very interesting to go through. So here we go. Nineteen eighty four by George Orwell and we're jumping, we're skipping the entire novel.

Partly because I think most people have read it. I hope, but I want to jump into the to the. This appendix, so here we go. Newspeak was the official language of Oceana. That's the that's the totalitarian state and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of ING SOC, which is an abbreviated term for English socialism. In the year nineteen eighty four, there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing the leading articles.

So, so, so the point that this book was written at the point at the point when nineteen eighty four in nineteen eighty four in this world no one was fully speaking newspeak yet.

That's why you could read it. That's why you could read these words. They hadn't gotten the new language to where they wanted it to be. The leading article in the Times.

Were written in in it, but this was a tour de force that can only be carried out by a specialist, so only like people that were really fluent in new speak could write the headlines.

It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded old speak or standard English, as we should call it, by the year 2050. Meanwhile, it gained ground steadily, all party members tending to use newspeak, words and grammatical constructions more and more in their speech every day. The version in use in eighty four and embodied in the ninth and tenth editions of the new dictionary was a provisional one and contained many superfluous words and archaic formation formations which were due to be suppressed later.

It is the it is in the final perfected version, as embodied in the 11th edition of the dictionary, that we are concerned here. So.

So this is talking about something that you don't get to see in the book, which is the final kind of version of Newspeak, what they wanted it to be.

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Insuk, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

It was intended that newspeak had been adopted once and for all. That old speak for would be forgotten and a terrible thought that is a thought diverging from the principles of Insuk should be literally unthinkable.

At least so far as it is dependent on words, so there was going to be you couldn't you couldn't commit a crime anymore because you wouldn't have the capability of expressing what it was.

Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a party member could probably wish to properly wish to express while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods.

So you can even use like multiple words to figure out how to say something that wasn't on board with the party.

This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings and so far as possible, of all secondary meanings whatsoever.

To give a single example, the word free still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as this dog is free from lice or this field is free from weeds.

It could not be used in the old sense of politically free or intellectually free, since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts and were therefore of necessity, nameless.

Couldn't even think of it, you couldn't even think of being free. The concept didn't exist anymore. They eliminated the word. Quite apart from the suppression of definitely heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in itself and no word that could be dispensed with was allowed to survive.

Newspeak was designed not to extend, but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum. Scary, right? Yeah, just Newspeak was founded on the English language, as we now know it, though, many new sentences, even when not containing newly created words, would be barely intelligible to an English speaker of our own day. Newspeak words were divided into three distinct classes known as the A vocabulary, the V, the B vocabulary and the C vocabulary.

It will be simpler to discuss each class separately, but the grammatical peculiarities of the language can be dealt with in the section devoted to the ACHAK vocabulary, since the rules held good for all three categories.

So this is the A vocabulary. The a vocabulary.

The vocabulary consisted of the words needed for the business of everyday life, for such things as eating, drinking, working, putting on one's clothes, going up and down stairs, riding in vehicles, gardening, cooking and the like, it was composed almost entirely of words that we already possess.

Words like hit, run, dog, tree, sugar, house, field.

But in comparison with present day English vocabulary, their number was extremely small, while their meanings were far more rigidly defined.

All ambiguities and shades of meaning had been purged out of them so far as it could be achieved.

A new speak word of this class was simply a staccato sound, expressing one clearly understood concept, it would have been quite impossible to use the A vocabulary for literary purposes or for political or philosophical discussions.

It was intended only to express simple propulsive thoughts, usually involving concrete objects or physical actions. So the general populace can't even carry on a political debate or a philosophical discussion because they don't just don't even have the vocabulary for it.

They just can't even have it. So we're just we're to shutting it down. The grammar of newspeak. Had two outstanding peculiarities, the first was almost a complete interchange interchangeability between different parts of speech, any word in the language.

In principle, this applied to even very abstract words, such as if or when it could be used as a verb, noun, adjective or adverb between the verb and a noun form.

When they were of the same root, there was never any variation.

This rule of itself involving the destruction of many archaic forms, the word fork, for example, did not exist in newspeak.

It its place was taken by think, which did the duty for both noun and verb. No etymological principle was followed here, in some cases, it was the original noun that was chosen for retention. In other cases it was the verb, even where a noun and verb of kindred meaning were not etymology, etymologically connected to one or the other of them was frequently suppressed. There was, for example, no such word for cut, its meaning being sufficiently covered by the noun, verb, knife.

So can you give me a piece of cake adjectives were formed by adding the suffix fall to the noun, verb and adverbs by scent, by adding Ys thus, for example, speed for meant rapid and speed wise men quickly.

Certain of our present day, A. such as good, strong, big black soft were attained, but their total number was very small. There was little need for them since almost any adjectival meaning could be arrived at by adding full to a noun verb. None of these now existing adverbs was retained except very few already ending.

In wise, the wise termination was invariable. The word well, for example, was replaced by good wise.

In addition, any word this applied in principle to every word in the language could be negatived by adding the affix un or could be strengthened by the affix plus or still greater emphasis double plus.

So for example, uncalled, uncalled meant warm as opposed as opposed to uncool. There's no word for cool.

Yeah, I'm just seen in real life there's a word called uncool. In the short version is Onnes. Langkawi. That's what it is. Onnes. Yeah, but it's not the temperature cool. It's you being cool or uncool.

Uncool and onnes. Onnes is like just short for it.

So if I'm walking behind you I trip your foot. That's on pretty.

Yeah.

And yeah actually you know what, it's, it's more used for stuff that's like more than that.

It's like, it's, it's so it's a little bit more of a severe phrase. Severe.

Yes I think so in my experience that's like if I, if I trip you and you fall and it's in front of some people that's pretty on you spill your beverage on your.

I was going to say, sure, but we're probably not wearing a shirt since we're in Hawaii.

No, very rarely. If you do it on purpose, it's on the shirt or no shirt, I think.

But actually, you know, now they think it's essentially the same thing. Yeah. Except the plus part, I guess if you replace it with very because there's like plus plus right there you say that's very cool. No there's double plus double double plus cold meant very cold.

It's kind of efficient in a way.

So unfoldment warm plus cold and double plus cold meant very cold and superlatively cold.

Very, very cold.

It was also possible in present day English to modify the meaning of almost any word by prepositional affixes such as a. post updown.

By such methods, it was found possible to bring about an enormous dimension of vocabulary. Given, for instance, the word good.

Yes, sir. There was no need for such a word about it, since the required meeting was equally well, indeed better expressed by ungood and I don't know, it seems like there could be a T-shirt possibility there.

And I don't say that very often. But, you know, and it seems like we've talked about good a fair amount.

And we do have a T-shirt that does say good. Yeah. Might be kind of cool to have a T-shirt that said ungood, maybe a picture of a Hawaiian getting tripped up on the beach. I would be very good. Yes, uncool.

All that was necessary in any case, where two words formatted a natural pair of opposites was to decide which of them to suppress dark, for example, could be replaced by sunlight or light by dark, according to reference. You get rid of one of those two words, the.

According to preference. So they would just pick either one, we got light and dark, we don't need both those words, so we pick one of them and then put on in front of it for the other one, you know, to actually kind of scary if you let it be scary.

It's like this whole thing is scary. It kind of makes sense. That's the scary part.

Well well, you know, there's no way to know where I came from. That side came from the fact that when I was when I was an English major.

Yeah. And look, the English language, there's there's things that are that make no sense whatsoever. Yeah. Like if you were if you have an engineering mind right.

Where you like, you know, the rules is the rules are the rules, then you try and figure out how to do English. You have a real hard time with it, man. Oh, yeah.

And that makes sense because I get you know, when I first got into whatever I got into HTML.

Oh, we're talking computer languages. Yeah. Hypertext markup language to be exact. Yeah.

And if you go deeper into the coding thing, you know, it's that straight up like that is engineering mind where it's like the computer is like, hey, tell me what to do, I'll do it. But you better tell me the right thing if you. I don't know. I don't know about tones. You tell me the words of the characters or whatever and I'll do it. And you can tell them like accidentally the wrong thing. They're going to do that thing.

That's exactly what a computer does. So you better be specific. And if you're not specific, it's simply that won't happen or it'll do the thing that you mistakenly were specific about.

Yeah, that's a little something that we like to call operator error.

Operator error, meaning I messed up, you know, when they when the GPS first came out, when they first came out, I was pretty I was my first reaction was like, why do I need to carry that thing?

That thing weighs twenty five pounds.

And they're like, yeah. And then they say, well you know, you'll know where you are.

And I go, I have a map and compass. I know exactly where I am. Yeah.

You know, I've had the training, I'm doing a terrain study. I know where I'm at. I have a map and compass. I know where I'm at. Yeah. I mean. It'd be like, you know, if do you need a GPS to get home right now, know from here? No, sorry.

That's how I felt. If someone when they started telling me I needed a GPS in the field, I was kind of the exact same way you feel. It's like, why would I need this thing weighs twenty five pounds. I have a map. I have a compass. I know exactly where I am. I don't need anything else to help me.

But there are some situations, you know, when you're out in the open ocean, there's no there's nothing to get a bearing off of. There's nothing there. So when you're over the horizon, you can't shoot a bearing. Once you get closer to the shore, you can shoot a barrier and you can figure out where you are in the open desert sometimes, too.

There's nothing to shoot you bearing off of that you can see.

So sometimes you do need that GPS, but the early GPS is they they weren't that good when they took a long time to find themselves.

But once they found themselves, then all of a sudden I realized, well, this thing is freakin super accurate and sometimes people would get lost, right?

Mm hmm. You know, and then they'd blame the GPS to do it.

Right. And I would say operator error.

Yeah, that thing did not you don't have the one GPS that took and changed the coordinates of Earth, right?

Yeah, that didn't happen. And sure enough, I'd pull it out and be like, oh yeah, you missed a digit here you attitude, you know, you fat fingered the digit over here and that's the problem. Oh yeah.

That, that, and that's so, that's so true. So like in HTML as well. Right. So it's essentially like and you you talk about your English major and you know how it's like I took a class called Advanced Grammar and Syntax.

Yeah.

So the reason that I'm not and I'm not an English major, but I talk English to other people and here is this little factor in English is is one of the main differentiators between like the engineering situation and me talking to you situation. I can use like tones and all the stuff, my emotion and all this stuff or whatever, and I can say, like literally the wrong thing, but I can say, hey, you know what I mean, though?

And you could probably say, yes, there is that little soft wiggle room, you know, or you know, or if I misspeak in, say, someone else's name. But, you know, I met this other guy's name in a story or something like this, and I can be like, oh, you know what I mean? And be like, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. There's that does not exist in in McCambridge.

Yeah. You can be like, you know, five five five six one five five five six one five five five six one five five six. And then maybe like a two you know. And then five of the things like okay two that's on purpose. Boomlets execute that, that's what the machine does instead of like, hey, did you mean five, five, six, one on this, two here.

And then, you know, like a person will think that, you know, yeah, I have this thing one time I was a guy trying to explain like about the piano and about what what how you play the piano.

Good, basically.

And so he plays a song and he basically hit the notes like a machine, you know what I'm saying? Like, ding, ding, ding, ding, and just hit it like and it was some famous, you know, song on the piano. I don't know what it was, but some kind of like, classical piano song. But he plays it like a robot, basically.

Just every kid gets the same pressure and whatever, and then he plays it like a human, you know, and it sounds really, really different.

Yeah. So there's a lot that's going on. Better you think? Oh, the human one is way better. Yeah. So yeah, it's like this too.

It's the same thing with guitar.

Like you can get people that pluck the notes and they can pluck them perfectly, but then you get, you know, Jimmy Page and he's, he's bending them and we hit the wrong note bringing it back. I mean, yeah, it's it's a human element.

There's a rawness to it. Yeah. There's a rawness to it that's positive. Yeah.

It's like obviously millions of examples, but like you have analog and digital, like even if you go film. Right, if you go film, there's little imperfections in there that make it kind of a softer kind of feel. And then digital is kind of hard, even though digital is getting so advanced where it's kind of incorporating that kind of stuff in that.

But CGI, for example, like if you look at early CGI, you're like, brother, that's so lame because it's too perfect. It's too like computer. It looks like a video game almost. Right. You forgot, like, all the light bouncing off of this thing, that leaf over there and all the light spill from this color of this guy's shirt and all the imperfections, all that stuff is all in play in real life.

And that's how like real life is, you know, and then but you try to recreate it in a computer, especially one that's not as accurate as real life, which could take a while, but it's going to feel like a computer, you know.

So I was listening to someone talking about making music, and it had to do with Jack White from the White Stripes.

And and basically when you get a drummer. Like nowadays, what they do, if they if you and I are going to make a record, so here's what we do down, here's what we do.

We take the record, we record a snare drum track and we record 30 tracks on the snare drum. We take the perfect one. That sounds perfect. That's the snare drum. And then we take the high hats and we get the perfect we record 50 of 100 of them. We get the perfect one. That sounds exactly the way we want it.

And then we take that and then we take all the different drums. We find the perfect sound. We're making a digital it's a recording of a real drum, but it is.

It's the same one. It's a perfect shot, snare shot. And they take that and then they lay down the beat. And the beat is 1000 percent accurate because it's computer. Right. It's it's absolutely a perfect right.

Just right. It's right on every single time. And that right there when you hear it. And that's when you hear like a pop 40 whatever, like a pop 40 music.

That's what you're hearing.

You're hearing a sure you be like, oh yeah, person played that, but it got played. They can also take the drum like if a drummer and they can line up his. He was off by a half a millisecond. Cool. It's all perfect now. They line it all up, they line it all up. So you're hearing this what you said you're hearing this perfection. Yeah.

And.

There's a there's a there's a a list, there's something that we don't like when you hear like from the White Stripes because we're talking about the White Stripes or Jack White, he's he's doing things you're like, oh, that was he just said something wild human there.

And that's gives it this reality, you know.

So there's a we want to have that, you know, I want to have that as well. Did you think when I said what sounded a bit when you said what sounded better, the the mechanical piano playing sound or the human, what did you think I was going to say? The mechanical sound? No, I'm just checking me. Yeah, that's one way to put it.

Yeah, exactly. I wasn't checking. It was like, well, you know how you want to expose the example. It's kind of like that. Like we're because you weren't making a point or were you? It didn't seem like you were making a point that one was necessarily better or worse. You were just identifying what the difference. That's what it seemed like. So, yeah, I wasn't I wasn't purposely making the point that one was better or worse.

I thought that would be self-evident. And if you ever heard a robot play a piano, you would know that it was kind of evident. That sounds wack.

I don't know that I've ever heard.

When I was a kid, they had like these pianos that had these pieces of paper, these rolls of paper that that would go through.

And it was basically some kind of a mechanical computer that told it what notes to play.

And it would be self playing. Yeah.

Playing piano. Yeah. Huh. Old school self playing piano.

Yeah. But I would think that that would still have this analog feel to it.

If it was physical paper, it had a little it had more analog than a computer because guess what the the analog machine is like not perfect.

It's still doing the work. Yeah exactly. It's of like hit the note in there. Yes. So I hit that little thing has to hit the string. Yeah.

And that's a mechanical thing. All right. It's all right. Yeah it's there. That's absolutely correct.

It's mechanical not digital. Right. It's analog. I guess what we're saying. Yeah. CGI is a big one.

Again, back to that, like, you know, the computer. And still they don't have this down at all. I don't know.

I mean, it's they're getting good.

I don't I don't think they're very even close to it yet, but, um, you know, they can recreate certain things digitally in CGI like water and machines and light and all this stuff. And some of it, they have it straight up. They have it down. But if you come to when it comes to the human face, the human face, when it's and when it's not animated, it's good. It's pretty solid. They can get skin tones and reflections and transfers, all that stuff.

But when they start talking, there's so many complexities in your face. And as a human being, instinctually, we recognize them so deeply. We just we're not even there.

So but are we improving our technology so rapidly that we'll get there a lot quicker than we've got to this point?

I think so, yeah. I believe that is the case.

But as of right now, you can get the best, best, best one when it's completely made from CGI because now they get a real person's face and they match this and match that.

And even then, man, it's really hard, um, unless it's like a super simple expression or a pause or something like that. But you get someone to talk them, a CGI face to talk, no matter how good it is. It looks weird.

It looks actually scary because it looks like, oh, are you trying to be a person about the fakes? Oh, somebody just posted a fake. Oh, me.

Yeah. So the fakes are a little bit different. It's cool. Oh yeah. I was kind of like those are kind of scary too though when you when you think about it or whatever this I mean for different reasons obviously. But yeah, the deep fakes, they take an actual face though it's not recreated digitally.

They take your actual face from a million or however many available representations of your face. It actually exists. They take that and then they match it up to another face. So that's a different process. But if you get a visa, essentially a sculptor and a rigger, it rigging, it means like, oh, I'm going to control this eyebrow and this eyelid and all this stuff.

You rig everything the best, best guys.

It's going to look like a weird, like a weird monster. And there's a word for it. The fact that it's weird, it's called the Uncanny Valley. And it's like, so it's this valley between the real deal, recognizing it as the real deal and then a fake deal. So the smaller the uncanny valley, the more offsetting it is.

So if it's like a straight up robot face, like, remember the back like short circuit, remember that movie Short Circuit, No Fly anyway.

But I know I did watch E.T. the other day with I don't know, there's obviously no CGI in there. But man, I hadn't seen it since I was ten or whatever, eight or whatever it came out I saw in the theater and like I remembered, like this really good movie, you know, like space aliens.

Have you watched it lately? No, I was I was really kind of. Oh, no, I lost my mom, Steven Spielberg, if you're out there.

I get it. You are working with what you had at the time. All good jobs. One of my favorite movies ever. So I appreciate that 100 percent.

But, you know, when I saw it, I was kind of it was a it was definitely not what you know, why wait? What about it like that?

Well, for one thing, this quote, special effects, like it looks like a like a doll that someone's moving around is crazy to watch.

Maybe his planet. That's how they look.

You see him saying, oh, come out. But there isn't actually an article because they call that practical effects versus visual effects. Like practical effect is like. Yeah, like the physical thing. Visual is like CGI. Right. Um, there's a big argument for practical effect. I like practical physics. I think we all do.

But the the uncanny valley thing like E.T. even for example, if it's so obviously not obscene. No, it's not going to put anybody. Everybody's going to be like, oh, it's a non-person, whatever it is, robot, alien, whatever. But if it is a person. But it's not exactly exactly straight up a real person, everyone's going to be freaking weirded out by the thing.

So what's what's to bring this back to what we're talking about? And believe it or not, this entire rabbit hole we just went down to down is absolutely applicable.

We're talking about because what we're talking about is we're talking about removing the ability for human beings to express themselves properly.

We're removing that ability.

And when we remove words from the language. We're removing the ability for humans to. To express themselves and therefore we are removing the ability to think. And that is a scary thing. Yeah, yeah, it's like the difference between, you know, when you take a test and there's all kinds of tests, right? So there's like if you go down the spectrum of tests, there's like the the essay question or the thesis, really the straight up thesis is probably more comprehensive.

Test that. But Will's thesis.

Yeah. Then you got your essay question test, then you got a multiple choice and then true false.

No, actually there's a few before multiple choice because you got you're like, hey, what's this? And you have to say the answer.

OK, so in the deaf people in the deaf fill in the blank sentence, word, whatever, and then you got your multiple choice act d e all the above, none of the above or whatever.

Then you got your true. False, false. Yeah. So now you got the straight binary now.

True. False. No room for freakin nuance. No nothing is the same.

What test did you prefer the most.

Well depends, depends how old I was and what you know what the subject was for sure. If I didn't care but just wanted the grade.

Obviously the truth was really I always felt like I always felt like I had a little bit of better, you know, because maybe I wasn't. You know, when we're talking we're talking, you know, teenage years, maybe I wasn't quite really doing much studying at that time.

So so I could maybe write a better essay and fill in the blanks a little bit about what you know, maybe there's a concept because I was good. If I understood the concept, I could kind of run with it. Yeah. Whereas true false like what happened on this date, I'd be like because I didn't, I didn't study it, you know. Yeah. Now when I went to college, I was like, bring it to you. What kind of test you want to give me.

Yeah, but a lot of those so true. And I'm sure educators have a good grasp on why you would ever administer a true false question test versus, you know, any of the other ones.

And I hope anyway, because, man, if you're doing like a like a history true.

False like that's way more dangerous because of like how much nuance in perspective.

Like if you go, OK, so my daughter will ask me questions and I'll always answer and I told you this before, where I always answer with depends like what's your favorite color frickin depends.

Good one from my favorite color.

What wearing stuff or my car or bread's different you know. Or not even necessarily.

It is different is that say black and tiger striped camo. Most actually my favorite color actually is black and they know that.

But then she'll always probe me, be like what's your favorite color, what's your color. And then so it makes you think about it, you know.

So I'm like black, but I'm not going to wear like black under in certain circumstances, certain blacks.

So speaking of tests and speaking of language, because I'm over here just trying to reel things back into a subject which is cool, seeing some opposing forces in defense. So check this out.

When you when you when you went to college and you took was there a possibility of taking a class where you wouldn't get graded by a letter, but you would either get through the class or not get through the class?

Yeah. What was that called? Pass. No pass.

OK, so when I work because I my my one of my daughters in college, they're like offering. Now, since everything's online, you can take every class she says I can to you know, she said they're telling us we could take every class pass. No pass.

Oh that's like the option when I was a kid. You know what is called pass fail.

Yeah, that's sort of that's what it was in our study.

It was called Pass Fail. Yeah. Now it's called pass. No pass. No pass. Ryan Pass. Yeah. On the pass. Right.

Because we remove the word fail. Out of the vocabulary mess with people's self-esteem, then, yeah, that's a fear, is your favorite.

All right, we're getting back to the book. The second distinguishing mark of Newspeak grammar was its regularity, subject to a few exceptions which were mentioned below.

All inflections follow the same rules.

Thus, in all verbs, the preterit and and past participle were the same and ended in Ed.

The Predator of steel was stealed. The preterite of think was think and so on throughout the language. All such forms such as swam, gave, brought, spoke, taking, being abolished. So you like this part because you now it's all more uniformed.

The rules are all plurals were made by adding ECES or ease's as the case might be.

The the plurals of man Hox life were man's oxes, life's comparison of adjectives was invariably made by adding E, R or E good, good or good est e.

Irregular forms and more and the more most formation being suppressed, so they got rid of they got rid of more and most and just got good, good or good taste.

The only class of words which were still allowed to inflect regularly were the prominent pronouns, the relatives, the demonstrative adjectives and the auxiliary verbs. All of these followed their ancient usage except that whom had been scrapped as unnecessary and the Shalal should. Tensas had been dropped all they're used to being covered by will and would.

There were also certain irregularities and word formation arising out of the need for rapid and easy speech. A word that was difficult to utter, was liable to be incorrectly heard, was held to be ipso facto a bad word occasionally. Therefore, for the sake of of euphony euphony, extra letters were inserted into a word or in an archaic formation was retained. But this was. But this need made itself felt chiefly in connection with the B vocabulary, why so great and importance was attached to ease of pronunciation will be made clear later.

So one of their main purposes was to make these things easy to say and and clear.

Yeah, we're trying to dumb everything down for society.

Yeah. Yeah.

Like, you know how everyone's all you see, like one of these little diagrams and they say, like, I don't know if they actually I don't think they say this is proper, but the whole diagram implies that it's proper.

So it's like very good, and then they say, don't say very good, say excellent, got it.

Don't say whatever, say that, you know, they like they tell you the actual word for very like, don't say it.

And it's it's in a weird way, it almost seems like it's the opposite of that, you know, where if it's like, hey, yeah, yeah.

They're trying to expand your vocabulary.

It is like when you're in when you write up an English paper in ninth grade and you say, the chicken that I ate last night was very, very, very dry.

You get Jack, don't you come up with a better word, right?

Don't just put another very on that thing to give it another level of. Yeah, goodness. Yeah, yeah.

That's what that's that's a beautiful thing. That's the way it should be. Should be. We should be people should be learning more words. Our vocabulary should be growing. Yeah.

You know what's interesting is very interesting, very interesting but fascinating.

What is what's the next word of a fascinating fascinating because no. Interesting kind of seemed ambiguous, like it's interesting in a good way or bad way. You know, true. Fascinating is like I'm it's like wonderfully interesting. OK, where is this is, you know, maybe, I don't know, certain levels anyway.

Even in slang we have that, you know, like even like. I can think of an example strangely, but, you know, like I like you'll have it like, oh yeah, you're a. OK, these are swearwords, so I don't do that example, but you can be like, oh yeah, he's cool or he's a whack whack or he's dope or is what, you know.

And there's all these escalating levels, hierarchy of competence. Yeah. You know, so you can say, oh yeah, he's cool.

Or you can say he's very cool or you can say he's like the bee's knees. I don't know, I just made that up or whatever and I didn't make it up out of it.

But you know how like this different slang words for different degrees of acceptance or even slang has an escalating hierarchy of words to explain things? Yeah, the expanded slang vocabulary exists as well.

Now we get into the vocabulary.

The vocabulary consisted of words which had been deliberately constructed for political purposes, words, that is to say, which not only had every case in every case a political implication, but were intended to impose desirable, undesirable mental attitude on the person using them without a full understanding of the principles of ING. Sorry, it was difficult to use these words correctly. In some cases they could be translated into old speak or even in words taken from a vocabulary. But this usually demanded a long paraphrase and always involved the loss of certain overtones.

The B words were a sort of verbal shorthand, often packing whole ranges of ideas into a few syllables and at the same time more accurate and forceable than ordinary language. The B words were, in all cases, compound words. They consisted of two more words or portions of words welded together in an easily pronounceable form. The resulting was always a noun verb and inflected according to the ordinary rules. To take a simple example, the word good think. Meaning very roughly, orthodoxy, or if one choose to regard it as a verb, to think in an orthodox manner, this inflected as follows noun verb good, think the past tense and past participle.

Good thing to present participle good thinking adjective good. Think for an adverb good think wise verbal noun good thinker.

The boards were not constructed on any etymological plant, the words of which they were made up could be parts of any speech could be placed in any order and mutilated in any way, which made them easy to pronounce while indicating their derivate, their derivatives in the word crime.

Think thoughtcrime, for instance.

The think came second, whereas in think Paul, which is the thought police, it came first, and in the latter the word police had lost its second syllable because the great difficulty in making it sound good irregular formations were commoner in the B vocabulary than the vocabulary.

For example, adjective forms of miniature MI are starting many true many packs. Many love were respectively the Ministry of Truth, many truthful, many peaceful, many lovely, simply because truthful, tactful and lovely Lovel were slightly awkward to pronounce.

He went deep on this, some of the bywords had a highly sub sub tantalised meetings, sodomised meetings barely intelligible to anyone who had not mastered language as a whole.

Consider, for example, the typical sentence from a Times leading article as old think old thinkers unbury feeling.

Soxx The shortest rendering that could make this of that could make that one could make this an old speech would be those whose ideas were formed before the revolution cannot have a full emotional understanding of the principles of English socialism. So that whole sentence gets translated into old thinkers, unbelted feeling Insuk.

The greatest difficulty facing the compilers of newspeak of the Newspeak dictionary was not to invent new words, but having invented them to make sure what they meant to make sure that is to say what ranges of words they canceled because of their existence. If you if you made up a new word, I had to get rid of a bunch of other words.

Mm hmm. We have already seen that in the case. The word free words, which had once borne a terrible or heretical, heretical message, meaning were sometimes retained for the sake of convenience, but only with the undesirable meanings purged out of them. Other words, such as honor, justice, morality, internationalism, democracy, science and religion had simply ceased to exist.

A few blanket words covered them and in covering them, abolished them. All words grouping themselves around the concepts of liberty and equality, for instance, were contained, contained in the single word crime think while all words grouping themselves around the concepts of objectivity and rationalism were contained in the single world. Word old think.

That's really disturbing to think about, just the fact that you take the get rid of the words and now how do we even you know, how do you teach it to your kids?

Hmm. Greater precision would have been dangerous, what was required in a party member was an outlook similar to that of the ancient Hebrew who knew, without knowing much else, that all nations other than his own worshipped false gods.

He did not need to know that these gods were called Bolle, Cyrus, Mallock and the like.

Probably the less he knew about them, the better for his orthodoxy. That's a very cool explanation. He knew Jehova and the commanders of jokes and the commandments of Jehovah.

He knew, therefore, that all gods with other names or other attributes were false gods.

In somewhat the same way the party member knew what constituted right conduct and in exceedingly vague generalised terms, he knew what kinds of departure from it were possible.

But you only know. Right. And everything else is just bad. Everything else is false. Everything else is a lie.

That's all you need to know. No B word, no word in the B vocabulary is ideologically neutral. A great many name names were euphemisms, words, such words, for instance, as joy camp. Which is a forced labor camp, or mini PAX, which is the Ministry of War, which is the Ministry of Peace, is what it was short for, but it really meant the Ministry of War meant almost the exact opposite of what they appeared to mean.

Some words, on the other hand, displayed a frank and contemptuous understanding of the real nature of oceanic society. An example was Proehl feed, meaning the rubbishy entertainment and spurious news which the party handed out to the masses.

Other words, again, were ambiguous, ambivalent, having the connotation good when applied to the party and bad when applied to its enemies, good thinking, bad thing.

But in addition, there were great numbers of words which at first sight appeared to be mere abbreviations and which derived their ideological color not from their meaning, but from their structure.

Fast forward a little bit talk start talking about in the Ministry of Truth, for example, the records department in which Winston Smith works worked was called the Wreck DEP. The fictional department was called the DEP. The TELLA programs department was called the TELLA, DEP and so on. This was not done solely with the object of saving time. Even in the early decades of the 20th century, telescoped words and phrases had been one of characteristic features of political language and had been noticed that the tendency to use abbreviations of this kind was most marked in totalitarianism countries in totalitarian organizations.

Examples where such words as Nazi, Gestapo, Comintern. Agitprop in the beginning, the practice had been adopted as as it were instinctively, but newspeak, but when a new speak, it was used with a conscious purpose.

It was perceived that in the abbreviating a name one narrowed the subtlety, altered and altered its meaning by cutting out most of the associations that would otherwise cling to it. That's very interesting. The words communist international, for instance, call up a composite picture of universal human brotherhood, red flags, barricades, Karl Marx and the Paris Commune.

The word common turn, on the other hand, suggests merely a tight knit organization of well-defined body of doctrine. It refers to something almost as easily recognized and limited in purpose as a general table. I don't know, I use comments in German instead of Nazis.

It seems like Nazis is the like National Socialism. And those two words have their own meanings, you know, and and, you know, you can attach a bunch of things to nationalism and socialism.

But, you know, when you put those words together in Germany into Nazi doesn't get more obvious that we just made something different. And like you saying, it makes it a tight group.

It removes all the other things that can hang on to these words.

Hmm. In the same way the associations called up by word, like many true, are fewer and more controllable than those called up by Ministry of Truth. This accounted for the habit, not only the habit of abbreviating whenever possible, but also for the almost exaggerated care that was taken to make every word easily pronounceable. For the purposes of everyday life, it was no doubt necessary or sometimes necessary to reflect before speaking. But a party member, a party member called upon to make a political or ethical judgment should be able to spray forth the correct opinions as automatically as a machine gun spraying forthe bullets.

His training fitted him to do this.

The language gave him an almost foolproof instrument, and the texture of the words and their harsh sound and certain wilfulness will.

Wilful ugliness, which was in accord with the spirit of ECOSOC, assisted the process further.

That that little section there is like remind me of what you see today when people just have their go to terms that that's that's what they're going to throw. Right. They just have there's going to attack with that.

That the the. The dam attack words, you know, like I'm coming at you, right? You just you just hear it. One of the buzzwords, that's what I was looking for of cliche.

Yeah, but they're coming at you with a cliche like, oh, that guy's a commie. That guy's a Nazi. You know, they got you. They're going to you know, you're on the other side. Cool. You're a Nazi. Oh, right.

Like, they kind of throw it all kind of into one, almost like. Yeah, yeah. Here's here's my argument. You know, you say, hey, JoCo, I think that there should be voter ID in America.

And I said, you're a Nazi. And, you know, like, that's that's kind of the same thing. And then basically then all my friends start calling you a Nazi as well. Right.

Right. Or racist.

And then and then I say, well, you know, Echo, I think that we should have, you know, some form of welfare to help people out. And you're like, you're a commie and all your friends call me Commie. So that's that's what I'm saying. That's what that reminds me of. Everybody should be able to spray forth the correct opinions is automatically is a machine gun spraying forth bullets, correct?

Opinion. Yeah. Scary. Then you get into the C vocabulary, and when you get in the C vocabulary, there was indeed no word for science. Any meaning that could possibly bear being already covered by the word sock, so so everything is just it's just based on exotic and science, that's just that's what they say is correct, that science. So you don't need all these other words and see vocabulary supplementary to others and consisted entirely of scientific and technical terms.

But like I said, there's not too many of them. Um. Ideas. Inimical to Insuk, which is more costly, could be could only be entertained in a vague, wordless form that could not only be named in very broad terms, which lumped together and condemned whole groups of heresies without defining them and doing so. So it's kind of similar to I just said, oh, you. You want you're you're you're a conservative, you're a Nazi, oh, you're a liberal, you're a commie.

That's the same thing that your whole group is just Nazis. Your whole group is just commies. That's where we're at.

Right. The concept of political equality no longer existed, and this secondary meaning had accordingly been purged out of the word equal. In nineteen eighty four, when old speak was still the normal means of communication, the danger theoretically existed that in using Newspeak words, one might remember their original meanings. In practice, it was not difficult for any person to be well grounded in doublethink to avoid doing this. But within a lapse within a couple of generations, even the possibility of such a lapse would have vanished.

So they're going to get rid of language over time, like my kid might remember, that other meaning of the word free, but his kids are going to maybe, maybe, maybe his kids will meet by the time you get to. Generations are good. No more freedom. Not even not even a thought. Getting to the end here when old and I'm fast forwarding through a bunch of stuff, when old speak had been once and for all superseded, the last link with the past would have been severed.

So if they could have gotten control the language, they would have made it.

History had already been rewritten, but fragments of the literature of the past survived here and there in perfectly sensate, they didn't quite get rid of all of the language.

And so long as one retained one's knowledge of old speak, it was possible to read them. In the future, such fragments, even if they are chance to survive, would be unintelligible and untranslatable, it was possible to translate any passage of old speak into Newspeak unless it.

Unless it either referred to some technical process or some very simple notion as very simple everyday action or was already orthodox, good things would be the new speaking expression and tendency. In practice, this meant no book written before approximately nineteen sixty could be translated as a whole.

Prerevolutionary literature could only be subjected to ideological translation. That is alteration in sense as well as language. Take, for example, the well-known passage from the Declaration of Independence. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. That whatever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and so to institute new government. It would have been quite impossible to render this into newspeak while keeping it to the sense of the original, the nearest one could come to doing so would be to swallow the whole passage up in the single word crime.

Think the whole thing was just crime speak.

Goes on here, a good deal of the literature of the past was indeed already being transformed. This way, considerations of prestige made it desirable to preserve the memory of certain historical figures, while at the same time bridging their achievements into line with the Phillies with a philosophy of sock. Various writers such as Shakespeare, Milton Swift, Byron Dickens and some of the others were therefore in the process of translation when the task had been completed. Their original writings with all else that survived of the literature of the past would be destroyed.

These translations were a slow, difficult business and it was not expected that they would be finished before the first or second date decade of the twenty first century.

There were also large quantities of merely utilitarian literature, indispensable technical manuals and the like that had to be treated the same way.

It was chiefly in order to allow time for the preliminary work of translation that the final adoption of Newspeak had been fixed for so late a date as 20 50.

So there you go, that's this and that's this appendix and and, you know, you can see that they failed. They failed to change the language. Which means they failed to get control of speech.

They failed to to ban free thought because of that and because of that, they failed to successfully enslave the world in their tyranny.

So very. Very scary, very scary document, and that's the language, that's the control of the language based on reality, based on history.

The language control of of the government, of a dystopian future and and you can see it's amazing how close Orwell got it.

And as Cowboy warned us, it's something we need to watch out for and. We can't control everything, but we need to control, we can hit and going back to the beginning of this.

That's why we don't have sponsors here who might limit what we say or limit what we talk to a limit, who we talk to.

That's why this podcast right here, what we're doing.

That's why it's open and it's free for everyone. So that as many people as possible hear the lessons of history. Here. The reflections of human nature in the past, so we can all learn and we can remember what's happened in the past, so we don't repeat it. So we've managed to maintain maintain control of that, but we don't really have control of everything here.

And one of the things we don't have control of is the platforms that we come out on. And we rely obviously, we rely heavily on the platforms. And the platforms have been good to good, good to us.

For the most part, so far, all the platforms, wherever you listen to this right now, we've been treated well, it's been good, but at the same time, any of those platforms?

That we published this podcast on could they could actually shut us down if they wanted to. They could pull the plug, they could hold us hostage, and I don't like that and and we don't like that.

So. We did some contingency planning, a little contingency planning look, hope what's what's the purpose of contingency?

Hopefully you don't need to use a contingency plan. That's the hope, is that you don't need to use a contingency plan, but.

If we have to, we we we figured we better do some contingency planning just in case. So we're going to we're putting together our own platform as a contingency. Setting up our own network or I guess reinforcing it. Being prepared if we have to. I hope it doesn't go that way, but we'll be ready to we'll have a little sovereign land of our own.

Echo Charles, our own little sovereign little area, little digital land, little little autonomous place that we we will have control over that we can do what we want.

And has been working hard on this right now to put this together. A place where.

We can muster, if we have to, a place where we can bring our friends their podcast if we need to, a place where we can talk and we can argue and we can theorize, the place where we can dissent, we can subvert and we can rebel a place where we're free.

A place where we are free to do what we want to do in case we need it. OK, so sounds fired up to me, actually. What does it mean pragmatically? So like I said, Echo has been for the past few weeks putting together some the the actual sovern world. The the underground, the deaf corps underground. Doing the technical work besides just pressing record. Michael has skills, a separate so so so what we set up what Ekos set up, because pretty much I didn't do anything.

Besides, I can say we better do this just in case.

And Echo said, Roger that. So a separate. An underground podcast feed, that's. Underground, right, separate underground forum. A separate underground kind of way to communicate to us and listen to this podcast that we're doing right here, the Jakobson guys, this will remain free and available to all for as long as it is allowed to be free and available.

I will never change that by my own volition.

And believe me, we have had opportunity upon opportunity to do that, to go behind the firewall paywall, the paywall.

And we haven't done that and we won't do that. So as long as this as long as we're allowed to do this, we'll do it. But if but we do need to have contingency planning if you want to get in the game, if you want to support the underground. That would be appreciated and and in order like when we do that, in order, we got to give something in order to kind of show our appreciation, we'll do some things on the underground.

To. You know, show our appreciation, you know, maybe some additional sort of podcast things, maybe some podcasts that don't fit in the typical format of a usual Jakiel podcast, because that's one thing that, you know, I think of that the I try and maintain.

A consistency with the JOCO podcast that when you press play, you kind of know what you're getting or you at least have some idea. So for me to throw out something that's really maybe shorter or maybe it's a different subject matter, maybe it's some kind of current events based thing, whatever, I don't know.

But we'll be able to do that. We'll do that.

We'll be able to do whatever we want because we will have pure. Pure freedom will answer questions, try do some Q&A a little bit more, because, you know, at some point, if you recall the early days of the podcast, it was like a I could just respond to you on Twitter, which I would, because it would say, oh, you ask a question. Cool. I'll just answer you. Or and it was a good question.

Maybe you're on the podcast to answer it, but that became overwhelming because there's just too many questions to answer them all. Haven't done a Q&A in a while, so we'll do some Q&A type stuff. This is, you know, so you can ask questions direct. Now, you were saying some about like doing some kind of live connections. Yeah, if we choose to. Yeah.

So if people want to well, we meet the proverbial all of us. If we.

If that's our choice. Yes. Yeah.

So that's what we're doing obviously will be open to whatever suggestions you, you know, you got. So that's what we're doing. Well. We got to pay for it to be a little a little price to pay for freedom. We came up with a surprising number. If you can figure out the layers of this number, what will they win? Let's let's be rewarded if you can. I bet someone can figure it out.

The if you if you're if you want to join.

Eight dollars and 18 cents a month. And if you can figure out the layers between behind 818, let us know you'll win something, something cool or something, it'll be a call, something. Do you think it's so obvious that everyone will figure it out? It's very possible. OK, so maybe if depending on how many people get, let's say this, the first three people, OK, that get it will be rewarded.

But that way, you know, look a little bit of a little bit of cost for freedom. That way we can invest in all these different things we want to do.

And and by the way, if you're freaked out or you're like the money grabbing and whatever, cool.

No, no factor. If you can't afford that, if it's too much, we we want you to listen.

If you email assistance at JOCO underground, dot com echo will take care of you. He's writing down that email right now. He just made it up. He will have it live and yeah, but if you can't afford to chip in, that's awesome, too. And we appreciate it. There's also, you know, talking to some other friends right now that have other podcasts about, you know, giving them the same kind of bringing them into the fold.

And that's where we're at. And like I said, I hope it doesn't come to a point where I need to go full deathcore underground. But we prepare, we make contingency plans and we execute, so we'll do some cool stuff and we'll be ready. More and more excerpt from 1984, here's the quote, Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?

In the end, we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it, end quote.

Well, we will maintain the words and we will maintain our freedom.

Echo, yes, sir. So how do people join the JoCo Deathcore underground, go to JoCo underground dotcom.

That's it.

That's all you can do, go there and that's where you can join if you want. There you go. Cool.

Kind of crazy. What? So obviously, we're not just sitting around waiting for a dystopian future to to be delivered unto us. No, we are not. No, we're preparing for it. Yes, sir. We also got to prepare for other things in life. Yeah. We want to be prepared. We want to have capabilities.

Yes. What do you recommend?

So, OK, so and I vaguely heard of this book 19 series.

Crazy enough. I don't know. Maybe I don't know. Maybe that's just not how. I don't know. Maybe I missed it.

Know OK. But it's really interesting because like there little parts of that, like all of that stuff that they're doing and trying to do whatever we do that in little ways. And it's actually the thing is it's useful and it's actually beneficial in a lot of ways, as long as it's not across the board.

What are you talking we're doing. You lost me there. When you when you want to listen, it's better if I want to make things binary, which we talked about on the last episode.

Actually, that's a completely different thing. It's wrong. It's the same concept, except it's used for good. So, dude, you're getting wrapped around the fact that you have a computer programming mind and you want to take the English language and put it into a totally formatted system.

This doesn't again work again. If it's across the board. You know why it doesn't work. I'll tell you why it doesn't work.

It's like jujitsu. Language is like the English language is like jujitsu. Words come into it and they get adapted into it. If they're good, if they work, if they don't, then they get shot down.

Oh, yeah, fully. And then the same thing with like methodology in general. So if you like. OK, so the binary thing, right by anything they're implementing that in language across the board. That concept anyway, across the board, that's bad.

But you can use that in specific, nuanced ways to make it like a more efficient situation, like working out or something like that where.

OK, so I was working out today actually something tells me you just want to tell me this story and you're given some kind of a no no.

So this is this is an exact this is why this whole book is interesting. It's basically one of the many lessons or whatever. It's like you can take a good thing and just take it too far if you implement it across the board.

Dichotomy of leadership. A lot of this stuff. Yeah, hopefully a lot of the stuff, again, in teeny tiny doses or used just like sparingly is like it's good thing like salt really, but a little bit of salt sometimes it's pretty nice. OK, but too much salt or you put all salt by your dead.

True. So anyway I'm working out and my little son, he's like for now he's doing, you know, he's, he's copying more and trying to understand and actively understanding like these kettlebell swings use doing little kids like the kettlebell swings.

Don't get that.

You know, I don't want them to quite do my daughter does them or wants to do them whatever.

I don't know. I don't need her like slipping and bashing her shin with that little kind of I don't know. Anyway, perp's all the.

We can talk about that offline. Yes sir. Was having your kids you kettlebell swings is a good thing.

Seems like beneficial. Yeah.

OK, cool work on that coordination. If we're worried about leg hits. Shin hits. Yes sir. OK. Makes them shoes. Makes sense to me. So anyway so my daughter was there and she was like talking about like how her leg because you went to that running thing with her legs also and all this stuff. Meanwhile my son is over getting after it or whatever. Right. And he's like, hey, I'm doing this or whatever so I can be strong.

So my dads are listening.

So it's like, yeah, it's true. And you get to understand in life, answer me this. What's better to be strong or weak?

Strong. They say strong.

What's it better to know how to do something or to not know how to do something. To know how to do something. So OK, what's better to be healthy or unhealthy? They stay healthy or whatever. Right. So obviously life is there's way more to it than what others do.

Kettlebell swings are not you Canibus. Oh, that's see that's another one of those things on the surface say yeah, kettlebell swings all day. But the point is there's a lot more to it than that. But if I use that binary terminology just for that moment, it's going to send a message more effectively.

Granted, it's a good message at this point, but you apply that across the board by you just eliminate understanding, nuance, all these important things.

I get it. I get it. You're your theory is accepted, but it's really, really you're taking like something massively destructive and just taking a little tiny piece of it and can't say it.

It's good. Yeah. Like salt. OK, ok. I said we'll go with it. But if if I have a stake, Manchukuo stake all day stake, I put a little bit of salt on it. Does that make it better or worse, in your opinion? This an opinion? Can we put Pepper on it, too? Yes, sir.

Yes. OK, what if you win the whole thing all salt?

You put the whole thing good. Actually, let me start eliminating some of the steaks to make room for more of the salt. In fact, at the end of the day, let's remove the whole steak. Just salt and pepper or wait. You want to pepper, right? Some salt and pepper fry your day. It's not even it's not even the same thing.

Same thing. Yeah, I got it. So a little bit is good. A lot of it.

So a little bit of language control inside your own family with your children trying to explain to them basic things like a binary decision making process between good and bad in an immediate way is is a positive thing.

Can't influence their thoughts for sure. John, it across the board, maybe not just remind me not to let you become dictator. We've run that game on the whole country, huh? Well, there you go.

For the world to share the world to art.

Anyway, speaking of working out. Yeah, it worked out today.

We're expanding our capabilities, our strength, our health, all that stuff.

Right. That's what this path is. So in the spirit of being half full, you see what I'm doing there anyway? We've got supplements. Boom, Jakiel, for you. We got stuff for your joints so you don't have to think about them aking anymore. You have to worry about thinking about them aching any more. Thinking about that stuff won't even exist. It'll be impossible to think, even think about it, to stop crimes, etc..

You know, joint warfare, also super krill oil. These things help your joints boom, keep you in the game even as we age through this human existence.

Also, discipline and discipline go for your mind. Free body to the daily thing, I think. But yes, enhance your cognitive capabilities.

As far as capabilities go, have you improve your routine where you're at one hundred percent on krill and then and during warfare with no no holes in your game or lapses, you did you just use the word hundred percent.

Yeah. No, how can you not do that. Why don't you just put them. When you brush your teeth you take it you know.

Uh well I thought we covered that as far as the brushing the teeth because the routine is it's nuanced anyway.

It's because to really pointed out it's. When the whole covid thing came to my shores, I was like, I grabbed the vitamin D three in the Cold War that, like my mind shifted to that is the priority.

And then it'd be like one day I didn't take the krill oil, you know, not because, like, oh, I neglected, like, OK, I'm just going to take this now or whatever. It's not as implemented into the routine as it should be really crazy to me.

Yeah. Really crazy to me that this is not a big thing.

You think you could just do well because of the bottles next to your toothbrush and what it is it.

No, this is this is really what it is now that I'm like and analyzing my whole mind, because you're right.

You're like we know it like helps you so much. Yes. So here's the thing. I'm violating two rules, or maybe it's just one rule with different terms resting on my laurels and complacency.

OK, so, you know, like my joints don't hurt, so I'm not compelled to solve any problem. I'm saying. But I'm not kind of I'm not taking my own advice.

You know how you like you don't think about your days go by and then you do feel your voice. It's like. Like four, five, six days, you know, you go six days until they start feeling the air, but, oh, I'm not like often I don't have issues right now, but I'm just saying, like, as far as 100 percent daily, the way that that what I do when I do put it together, I'm just not doing that.

But I'm getting there. But yeah, no issues for sure. But that's I think baby steps.

Baby steps. We're getting there. We're working on it. We're working on that discipline.

Well so the lesson there is even I got to take my own advice. We don't want to think about the can stuff, but the only way to not think about your joints hurting or hurting in the future is to through disciplined take them every day. So now you're like that guy that's, you know. Given advice about something they're not actually doing. Yeah, kind of sad. I'll give the advice. Hey, take them every day. There you go.

I do. Don't do what I could. Just do what I do.

Well, technically, every day I don't know that I say take it every day. I say take it and say you don't have to worry about your joints. But look, I'm saying right now and I'm start doing that right now, how about that? Next time you check in with me, 100 percent wanted to check in with you anyway.

You might be on cocaine or something. Anyway, discipline and discipline go for your brain, for your body, for your whole thing, for real life.

Really just one go in a can someone talk about you like energy drinks cuz you don't like energy drinks.

Yeah I know what cool discipline go in a can is everything that an energy drink should be. And more like help yourself to a corner right there, you know, he wanted to give the counter example, when you painted yourself into a corner, you couldn't escape. I'm afraid it's all the good without the bad. It's it's all the good without the bad. That's all good. Without the end of the good. Oh the. Yeah.

Go they'll get some. Yeah.

It's awfully good in Ottawa right now. It's online. You can get it wherever you want. Accessibility is not the issue here.

It's about making the correct choice. By the way. Freedom to choose freedom.

Choose the right thing. Yeah. You can get this stuff at Walwa, you can get a vitamin shop, you can get it in Oregon, Maine, dotcom, you can actually get it on Amazon. All this stuff, Molk, protein discipline, just the whole nine yards. Check it out if you want to. If you want to get after it. Also at Oregon Main. You got jujitsu gear because we are training jujitsu for a multitude of reasons, as we found out on that last podcast.

Is it better to be capable or incapable?

We want to be capable. If you choose to fight someone, do you want the choice to fight someone and win or not? Better to be capable or uncapable?

Yeah. So it's better to do jujitsu or jujitsu and want to do jujitsu.

Jujitsu.

Full jujitsu is double plus good. Yes.

It's so good to go to war. You may not get guys get Raasch cards, you can also get jeans, boots, t shirts.

And the thing is all the stuff is made in America, all made in a factory up in Maine. And it's awesome. We're bringing manufacturing back to America. So support if you can. What else? Stores called JoCo Store. Same deal, if you want to represent on this path, you're going to be powerful and represent at the same time.

Just payment.

You can go. Chuckles Dot.com get disciplined shirt. Hooty hat. MasterCard's on there.

We do have a T-shirt club if you're into it and if you're into representing monthly variety, different stuff.

So that's this is the kind of thing where maybe that's where the ungood t shirt comes from, right? Oh, like slides in. As far as the presentation, let's face it, it's very cool if you kind of if you're in the game right now, the deal you like revises that ungood T-shirt on from from that it'll be like.

Yep. So you might want to put that one in the lineup, put it in the lineup. Little ungood.

You heard it here first Juncos idea. Good. I like it. It's it's not ungood I'll tell you that.

But you t shirt every month, you know, it's like one of those things in the theme of today's deal. It's it's not narrowing down your options for representation. It's expanding them. So I'm saying be a T-shirts club.

Uh, check that out if you want. Boom.

Chuckles Store Dotcom. Also subscribe to the podcast. We got to you don't the platforms that we're on.

Like I said, they've been good to us.

Let's hope they stay that way. Subscribe to it. Check it out. We also got we got this podcast. We got the JoCo Unravelling podcast. We got Grounded podcast. We got the Warrior Kid podcast.

To do it, I'm going to help you achieve what you want to achieve when you don't like when you don't feel like it. Flip side canvas stuff. You can hang on your wall. Some people would say art.

Yeah, I would say graphic visual representations of the path of justice.

You got a bunch of books, a bunch of books about face leadership, strategy and tactics. Discipline equals Freedom Field Manual, brand new version. You can probably can probably get that one for, you know, somebody that, you know, that could use a little a little adjustment in life.

Maybe it's the kind of person maybe it's the kind of person that right now they could use some help.

Maybe when they wake up in the morning instead of having a routine where they take the supplements they're supposed to take, maybe they could just figure out through this book they could find the discipline that it takes to put a bottle next to their toothbrush and take it.

Thank you for that.

Anyways, you can check out that book, this Medical Freedom Field Manual. Way to work it for Field Manual is out where the warrior could one, two, three making the Dragons extreme ownership dichotomy. Leadership Rear Guard National Front, which the leadership consultancy we saw problems through leadership go to Echelon front Dotcom for details on that.

We got EFF online. We're on there all the time, live doing Q and A's. We got discussions happening with an entire network of leaders from all kinds of different industries and the Echelon front team myself, the rest of the team, we're on there all the time. So check out our online dotcom. We have the muster, which is our leadership seminar. We got Phoenix March 3rd and 4th, Orlando May twenty fifth and twenty sixth and Las Vegas October twenty eight in twenty ninth.

Go to extreme ownership dotcom. Look, by that time, let's face it coach, it's going to be over.

We got the vaccine, we got vitamin D, we got all kinds of good stuff going on. I'm calling it. Well let's hope it's over.

Let's hope it's over then. Look, we didn't have any monsters this year, so obviously we got a bunch of people that are already signed up to go. But if you want to, you want to come check it out.

And you can find us on the interweb, on Twitter, on Instagram, which, you know, Echo only refers to as the grim and on that echo is adequate.

Charles, I am at draconic and thanks to all the military people out there in the world that fight against tyranny and oppression every single day and keep us free.

And thanks to police and law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, correctional officers, Border Patrol, Secret Service, all first responders for being there when we are in our time of need and to everyone else out there.

Don't take freedom for granted. And countless sacrifices have been made to secure freedom and to preserve it and if. We have to preserve it. And I know that we don't do it perfectly. But I do believe that in the battle of good versus evil and light versus dark and truth versus light, I believe that truth and light and good will prevail. But there may be times of darkness. And for those times we will be ready.

And we we may have to go underground at some point, but we will never surrender and we will never submit to tyranny, discipline equals freedom and freedom will overcome all. And until next time, this is Echo and JoCo out.
